RE: Joint Permit Application – D’Argenio/Caggiano, 24 & 28 Scharoun Drive, Pulaski, Oswego County, New York Delta Project No.: 2020.270.002 Delta Engineers, Architects, Land Surveyors, & Landscape Architects, DPC (Delta) was contracted by Mr. Joseph Caggiano and Mr. Robert D’Argenio to prepare and submit a permit application to the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) NYS Office of General Services (NYSOGS), and NYS Department of State (NYSDOS) to protect the shoreline, repair earthen docks and dredge around the docks. The site is approximately 1.8 acres in size and is located at 24 & 28 Scharoun Drive and along the Salmon River in Pulaski, Oswego County, New York. Delta performed a wetland delineation on July 2, 2020 and found one wetland (Wetland A). Wetland A is assumed jurisdictional by the state (DEC) and federal (Corps). A previous permit application package for this project was submitted in September 2019 and withdrawn on March 17, 2020 to prepare and provide additional information.

This report contains an overview, history of the property and details of the proposed project. Following the text is a topographic figure illustrating the site location and boundary, as well as representative photographs of the site. “Appendix A – Wetland Delineation Report” includes Delta’s Wetland Delineation Report summarizing background information and data analyzed by Delta staff on the July 2, 2020 site visit. “Appendix B – Correspondence” includes (1) the Short Environmental Assessment Form (SEAF), (2) the Federal Consistency Assessment Form, (3) response letters to David Newman (NYSDOS) and Judy Robinson (Corps) (consecutively) containing additional requested information and plans, and (4) letters from NYSDOS and Corps regarding the original permit application. “Appendix C – Design Plans” includes revised plans for the proposed project which address NYSDOS and Corps requests/questions. “Appendix D – Photographs”. Overview

The properties at 24 and 28 Scharoun Drive are controlled by the Caggiano/D’Argenio family (Figure 1). The property at 28 Scharoun Drive was purchased in the early 1960’s by Joseph Caggiano. Prior to his purchase of the property, channels on both sides of the pier had been dredged and the pier constructed. The length of the pier was covered with 12” wide boards and was used for the owner’s boat dockage. Both Peninsulas had trees and they were mowed and maintained.

The property at 24 Scharoun Drive was purchased in 2013 by Robert D’Argenio. Mr. D’Argenio is a year-round resident.

Over the years the shorelines and pier have eroded, and silt has filled the boat docking area. The high water of 2017 accelerated the deterioration of the shoreline and pier. During this flood year, 10 feet of both peninsulas and a significant portion of the side of the peninsula number 2 were eroded by the high water (Photos 1-3 following the text). The small wetland next to peninsula number 2 ends up littered with debris each spring such as pieces of docks and litter that finds its way into the river during spring high flow events. The sediment deposited on top of both peninsulas due to the high water of 2017 made it impossible to mow and maintain them as in years past. The high water of the 2019 event has



Page 2 of 7

compounded the problem. Peninsulas 1 and 2 and the pier (Peninsula 3) are labeled in Photo 1 in Appendix D.

The project involves the following:

1) Pier (Peninsula 3) To protect what remains of the pier and return it to serviceable condition, the property owners

are proposing to remove twenty (20) feet of the existing pier from the river end, install rip rap on that end and 20 feet down each side, and build a new pressure treated lumber retaining wall in front of the existing degraded wall. The pier will be stabilized. The rip rap at the end will protect the pier from the higher velocity flows in the river and the new retaining wall will prevent the loss of additional timbers of the old retaining wall. The old timbers have washed away in previous high flow events and become a threat to navigation.

2) Peninsulas

Peninsula 1 (western peninsula) The end of Peninsula 1, and 20 feet down the eastern side, will have appropriately sized rocks

(sized by an engineer) as protection from further erosion to the end of the peninsula. The area south of the placed rock on Peninsula 1 will be reinforced with a stabilizing material. A layer of rip rap, at roughly 1’ x 1’ or 1’ x 2’, will be placed at low water level at the base of the inside of the channel. Additional erosion control measures will be employed to prevent further erosion upslope of the rip rap. The slope in this area will be approximately 1:2 or 45 degrees. The corner at the base of this slope, and adjacent to the wetland, will be filled. A line of rip rap will be placed at low water level between Peninsula 1 and the adjacent wetland to prevent further erosion of the edges of the peninsula.

Dredge material from the bays will be dewatered on Peninsula 1 (water from this operation

will be routed back into the bay where the dredge was removed). Once the dredge material has dried it will be spread on the top of Peninsula 1. The height of the peninsulas will be raised approximately 1 to 1-1/2 feet. This will be roughly the same elevation as the pier. The length and width of the peninsulas will stay the same; only the elevation will increase. The back end (landwards end) of the bay will have a retaining wall installed to stabilize the bank. Pressure treated lumber will be installed at the water’s edge at the base of the hill where the ground meets the channel – a vertical rock wall with laid up stone currently exists at this location.

Peninsula 2 (eastern peninsula) The end of Peninsula 2, 20 feet down the western side and 30 feet down the eastern side, will

have appropriately sized rocks (sized by an engineer) as protection from further erosion to the end of the peninsula. The area south of the placed rock on the western side of Peninsula 2 will be reinforced with a stabilizing material. A layer of rip rap, at roughly 1’ x 1’ or 1’ x 2’, will be placed at low water level at the base of the inside of the channel. Additional erosion control measures will be employed to prevent further erosion upslope of the rip rap. The slope in this area will be approximately 1:2 or 45 degrees. The eastern corner of Peninsula 2 on the river side will be filled – this corner has been subject to significant erosion due to high water events and the normal annual spring water surge (Photos 26-28, Appendix D). A line of rip rap will be placed at low water level between Peninsula 2 and the adjacent wetland to prevent further erosion of the edges of the peninsula.



Page 3 of 7

Dredge material from the bays will be dewatered on Peninsula 2 (water from this operation

will be routed back into the bay where the dredge was removed). Once the dredge material has dried it will be spread on the top of Peninsula 2. The height of the peninsulas will be raised approximately 1 to 1-1/2 feet. This will be roughly the same elevation as the pier. The length and width of the peninsulas will stay the same; only the elevation will increase. The bank located at the back end (landwards end) of the bay between Peninsula 2 and the pier will be stabilized and used as the boat launch (replacing the existing metal bridge material).

3) Dredging

In recent years, seasonal high water has risen to the height of the pier and has saturated and inundated the peninsulas (which are at a lower elevation than the pier), contributing to erosion and degradation (Photos 18-26, Appendix D). To prevent further degradation in coming years, the dredge from each channel will be used to raise the height of each peninsula to the same level as the top of the pier (approximately 1 to 1-1/2 feet). The hill in front of Peninsula 1 will be graded to have a more natural slope toward the wetland, Peninsula 1, and the channel.

Dredging will occur during seasonal low water. Additionally, floating silt screens (turbidity

curtains) will be run from the peninsulas to the pier. This will control turbidity in the work area during dredging. The dredge material is silty. The dredged area in the two bays will gently slope from the peninsulas down to 3 feet and maintain a constant 3-foot depth to the pier. 3 feet is the minimum amount of dredge spoils that need to be removed for the property owners. This will make the property useable for the owner’s boats in the months of August, September, and October.

4) Boat Ramp As discussed in the Peninsula 2 section above, the current boat launch made with metal bridge

material will be removed and will be replaced. The current metal ramp has a 20-foot width. The replacement ramp will be the same dimension.

October 26, 2020

Mr. Joseph Caggiano Mr. Robert D’Argerio C/O Kall & D’Argerio CPA’s, LLC 118 North Massey Street P.O. Box 720 Watertown, NY 13601 RE: Wetland Delineation 24 & 28 Scharoun Drive Parcels, Port Ontario, Town of Richland, Oswego County, New York Delta Project No.: 2020.270.001 Dear Mr. Caggiano and Mr. D’Argerio:

Delta Engineers, Architects, Land Surveyors, & Landscape Architects, DPC (Delta) conducted a wetland delineation at 24 and 28 Scharoun Drive in the Town of Richland, Oswego County, New York (Figure 1). The site is approximately 1.8 acres in size. Delta conducted this wetland delineation on July 2, 2020. The wetland delineation was conducted following the methods outlined in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987), the Corps Regional Supplement (2012) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Manual (NYSDEC 1995).

This report includes a review of the background information, a methods section, results, which include site ecology and wetlands, and a summary of our findings.

Background Information

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) topographic map (Figure 1) shows that the site is located on Scharoun Drive and is west of New York State Route 3 in Port Ontario, New York. The Salmon River borders the property on the north. The property is developed with several cottages and a boat dock. The property slopes to the northwest from approximately 280 feet above mean sea level (amsl) to approximately 240 feet amsl. The property consists of mowed lawn and emergent wetland.

The NYSDEC Freshwater Wetlands map (Figure 2) shows that freshwater wetland (PI-2), a class I wetland, is located on the northern portion of the site. The NYSDEC ranks freshwater wetlands with a class of I to IV, with I being the highest quality.

The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map (Figure 3) prepared by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) shows one NWI wetland in the northwestern portion of the site – PEM1F is a Palustrine Emergent, Persistent, Semipermanently Flooded wetland. The NWI map is intended as an advisory map and is not intended as a map of regulated wetlands.

The Soil Survey map (Figure 4) obtained from the Oswego County Soil Survey shows that the site contains three (3) mapped soil series: Humaquepts and Fibrists, ponded (Hw); Ira gravelly fine sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes (IrB); and Water (W). The soils types, drainage class, and hydric rating are shown in Table 1 below.



Page 2 of 9

Table 1. Soil Type with Drainage Class and Hydric Rating

Soil Type Drainage Class Hydric Rating (%) Hw – Humaquepts and Fibrists, Ponded Very Poorly drained 25 IrB – Ira gravelly fine sandy loam, 3 to 8

percent slopes Moderately Well Drained 0

W – Water N/A N/A

Humaquepts and Fibrists, ponded (Hw) is a very poorly drained, hydric (wetland) soil that is shown on the western portion of the site. Ira gravelly fine sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes (IrB) is moderately drained and is found in the eastern portion of the site. Water (W) is found in the northern portion of the site in connection with the Salmon River. The Oswego County Hydric Soils list identifies Hw as a hydric soil.

The Surface Water Classification map (Figure 5) prepared by the NYSDEC shows that the Salmon River is a Class C water with Class C standards. Salmon River runs within the northern boundary of the site.

The Flood Insurance Rate Map (Figure 6) shows that the northeastern portion of the site is located in Floodway Areas of Zone AE. Zone AE is subject to inundation by 1% annual chance flood, frequently called the 100-year floodplain. Floodway Areas of Zone AE must be kept free of encroachment so that the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without substantial increases in flood heights.

The aerial photograph of the project site (Figure 7) shows that the site is developed with several cottages, mowed lawn, open field areas, and a boat dock area bordered by emergent vegetation associated with the Salmon River. It should be noted the boat dock has been in place on this site since approximately 1975 when an aerial photograph was used as the base map for the soil survey. The area next to the Salmon River had been excavated and dredged to support a boat dock over 45 years ago.

Methods

Flagging of the wetlands on the site and the data collection at the boundaries were conducted by Delta on July 2, 2020. The boundaries were delineated using the federal criteria for vegetation, soils, and hydrology (Environmental Laboratory 1987, Lichvar et al. 2016, USDA NRCS 2016, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) 2012), and the NYSDEC Freshwater Wetlands Manual (NYSDEC 1995).

Surveyor’s ribbon was placed along the wetland boundaries based on observations of vegetation, soils, and hydrology conditions. Patsy A. Storino, P.L.S. surveyed the locations of the wetlands delineated on the site. Delta calculated the approximate area of wetlands within the site.

To further support the wetland boundaries, data on the vegetation, soils, and hydrology were obtained from sample plots located within the wetland boundaries. Delta sampled two plots in and around the wetland and upland sides of the flagged wetland boundaries. The plot data were recorded on data sheets that comply with those used in the regional supplement (Corps 2012).

Vegetation data were collected in all sample plots. Ocular estimates of the percent areal cover by plant species for each vegetation layer (tree, shrub, and herbaceous) were recorded. The sample plots varied in size according to the vegetation layer being sampled. The sizes were: 30-foot radius for the tree layer, 15-foot radius for the shrub layer, and 5-foot radius for the herbaceous layer.

The presence of wetland vegetation was determined when more than 50 percent of the dominant species in a sample plot had an indicator status of obligate (OBL), facultative-wet (FACW), or facultative (FAC).



Page 3 of 9

The dominant species for each layer in a plot were determined by ranking the species in decreasing order of percent cover and recording those species which, when cumulatively totaled, immediately exceeded 50 percent of the total cover of that layer. Additionally, any plant species that comprised 20 percent or more of the total cover for each layer was considered to be a dominant species.

Plant species were identified primarily using the Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada (Gleason and Cronquist 1991), New Britton and Brown Illustrated Flora (Gleason 1952), Gray’s Manual of Botany (Fernald 1950). Scientific nomenclature follows the Regional Wetland Plant List (Lichvar et al. 2016), A Checklist of New York State Plants (Mitchell and Tucker 1997), and Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of New York State (Werier 2017). The indicator status for each plant species was determined using the Regional Wetland Plant List (Lichvar et al. 2016).

Soil and hydrology data were collected in soil pits or soil borer holes to a minimum depth of 18 inches within each sample plot. Soil characteristics were noted along the soil profile at the depth specified by the Corps criteria (Lichvar et al. 2016). Procedures for identifying hydric soils as outlined in the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (USDA NRCS 2016) were also followed. Soil colors were determined by using the Munsell color chart. Primary and secondary indicators of hydrology were also noted at each sample plot. The wetland boundaries were refined on the basis of intermediate soil borer holes along each transect.

Results

Wetland areas are described in the wetland section. Data sheets for wetlands on the site are included in Appendix A. Photographs of the wetlands on the site are included in Appendix B.

Site Ecology

The upland portion of the site consists of open field and mowed lawn. The open field area is dominated by woodland bluegrass (Poa sylvestris) and narrow-leaved plantain (Plantago lanceolata). Historic aerial photographs indicate that the eastern portion of the site next to the boat dock had contained deciduous forest.

Wetlands and Waters

Delta located one wetland area when conducting the wetland delineation (Figure 8). Delta identified this as Wetland A. Wetland determination data sheets are found in Appendix A and photographs are shown in Appendix B. Wetland locations are shown on Figure 8. Wetland plot and photograph locations are shown on Figure 9.

Wetland A Wetland A is located in the northern portion of the site (Figure 8), and is located in part of NYSDEC

Freshwater Wetland, PI-2 (Figure 2), and NWI mapped wetland, PEM1F (Figure 3). Wetland A is approximately 0.59 acre within the site.

Wetland A is dominated by narrowleaf cattail (Typha angustifolia) and moneywort (Lysimachia nummularia) in the herbaceous layer.

Soils present in Wetland A were mapped as Humaquepts and Fibrists, ponded (Figure 4). Soil samples displayed the Depleted Below Dark Surface (A11) and Depleted Matrix (F3) Hydric Soil Indicators.

Wetland hydrology was indicated by 6-inches of Surface Water (A1), High Water Table (A2), Saturation (A3), Water Marks (B1), and FAC-Neutral Test (D5) as Wetland Hydrology Indicators.

Permitting

Direct impacts to wetlands on the site will require permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the NYSDEC. The property is also within the coastal zone limit and is subject to the Coastal Zone Consistency Regulations. The NYSDEC will also require an Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Permit for impacts to the state-regulated wetland and its 100-foot upland adjacent area to Wetland A (Figure 8).

Summary

Delta Engineers, Architects, Land Surveyors, & Landscape Architects, DPC was contracted to delineate wetlands on the proposed project site. The approximately 1.8-acre site is located on 24-28 Scharoun Drive in Port Ontario (Town Richland), Oswego County, New York. Delta conducted this wetland delineation on July 2, 2020.

Delta reviewed available background information maps prior to the field review. The site slopes to the northwest, down from the cottage area to the boat dock and adjoining wetlands. The NYSDEC freshwater wetlands map shows freshwater wetland PI-2, a class I wetland, on the site. The NWI map shows one mapped wetland on site – PEM1F is a Palustrine Emergent, Persistent, Semipermanently Flooded wetland. The site contains three (3) mapped soil series: Humaquepts and Fibrists, ponded (Hw); Ira gravelly fine sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes (IrB); and Water (W). Salmon River borders the site to the north. The northern portion of the site is located in the Floodway Areas of Zone AE, which includes areas subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood.

Delta located one wetland on the site. Wetland A is a palustrine emergent marsh connected to the Salmon River. This wetland is assumed jurisdictional by the Corps, the NYSDEC, and the Department of State. The NYSDEC also regulates a 100-foot upland adjacent area from the edge of the wetland.

Permits will be required from the USACOE for work within the wetland. The NYSDEC will need to provide permits for work in the wetland or the NYSDEC regulated 100-foot adjacent area. The property is also within the coastal zone limit and is subject to the Coastal Zone Consistency Regulations.

In Reply Refer To: Consultation Code: 05E1NY00-2021-SLI-1519 Event Code: 05E1NY00-2021-E-04766 Project Name: Scharoun Drive Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project

location or may be affected by your proposed project

To Whom It May Concern:

The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). This list can also be used to determine whether listed species may be present for projects without federal agency involvement. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list.

Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC site at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. If listed, proposed, or candidate species were identified as potentially occurring in the project area, coordination with our office is encouraged. Information on the steps involved with assessing potential impacts from projects can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/northeast/nyfo/es/section7.htm

Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the Services wind

energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats.

Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html.

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the ESA. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

Endangered Species Act SpeciesThere is a total of 1 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.

Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species.

IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce.

See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions.

NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce.
